Wow, what a thread. So as a relative outsider I must conclude that Mr. Derenzo is a mouthboxer with no verifiable training and no competition history....

No, he is for the underdogs and the little people that get steamrolled by bullshido. Especially, those underdogs that lie about who they are, make up names for their teachers, and try to tie their lineage to someone who they trained with once.

Also learn some grammar Mr. Derenzo, two spaces after each period, and paragraphs are your friends.
